All 4 Avengers Infinity Saga Films Visualized in a Single GIF
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is the most beloved superhero film franchise ever conceived and the four-film Avengers Infinity Saga is easily its crowning achievement. With Avengers: Endgame closing up the saga in 2019 to glowing reviews and box office records, it became the highest grossing superhero film saga of all time.
Today’s animated visual is a little bit out of the ordinary, but we couldn’t resist sharing. Alistair Williams, of AW-Illustration.com, (who shared the animation on Reddit) chronicles each of the Infinity Saga films in a creative and beautiful way. As each frame of the animation passes, every nook and cranny fills with the iconic moments and critical plot points of each film. The result is really fun and makes us want to stop what we’re doing to re-watch the whole MCU!
Check out the animation below:
If you’re like us and want to see all of the tiny, masterfully illustrated details in a higher resolution, we’ve included a static version each film’s visualization individually below.

Avengers (2012)
Our favorite detail: The hidden nod to the post credit scene with The Other and Thanos. We were so young and innocent back then; we could have never known what Thanos had in store for us.
Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)
Our favorite detail: Just like the city of Sokovia in the film, the platform is cracked and rising into the air.
Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Our favorite detail: It’s going to have to be a tie between Star-Lord pointing his quad blaster at Thanos and the platform itself slowly disintegrating away.
Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Our favorite detail: Just as it was my favorite moment in the films, it’s the resurrected heroes emerging from Doctor Strange’s inter-dimensional portals, just in time to save the day.

Actors are prized for their performances, charisma, looks, and star power that draws audiences to their films. A key component Hollywood looks for is the success of an actor’s film roster. The team at Ever Present took that metric and created a chart of the highest grossing actors in Hollywood.
This detailed list ranks the actors by their earnings and adds detail like precisely how much their films have earned, and which film brought in the most money. You can also see how many films the actor has had a lead role in. In the case of the number one highest grossing actor, Samuel L. Jackson, more lead roles mean higher grossing films. The renowned Jackson has led in 69 films, including franchise juggernauts like Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His highest grossing film was Avengers: Endgame, something he has in common with many of the other performers on this list, including the number #2 highest grossing actor, Scarlett Johansson.

Sometimes, props that could have quietly become part of a film’s scenery stand out as an iconic aspect that adds depth to a setting or character. Nothing illustrates this better than a chart created by Ooma displaying the 45 most famous phones in pop culture. On the chart we can see where and when these phones first appeared on screens, an illustrated rendering of them, and a bit of trivia telling us why this phone made an impact. As a whole, the chart makes us re-think how something as commonplace as a phone can help make a piece of media memorable.

Some phones help form part of our lasting impression of a character. For example, Pee-Wee Herman’s picture phone is a regular part of the show and adds texture to Pee-Wee’s whimsical world. In the film, Juno, the title character is a relaxed teen with a quick wit, who uses a phone shaped like a hamburger to add a sense of humor and childishness to otherwise serious conversations.
Here are some more examples that appear on the chart:
- TARDIS from Doctor Who
- Clear Conairphone from Clarissa Explains it All
- “Show Me the Money!” Flip Phone from Jerry Maquire
- Neo’s Cell Phone from The Matrix
- Shellphone from Spongebob Squarepants
- Glass Case of Emotion from Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
How many phones do you remember from this list? Have any of them made you re-think the movie or show they appear in?
